Abstract
Provided are a system and method for checking a state of a rotator. The system includes: a position recognition sensor that senses a position of a rotator and generates a position synchronization signal corresponding to the position of the rotator; a control unit that detects a position of a detection specimen existing in the rotator based on the position synchronization signal and generates an image photographing control signal corresponding to the detected position of the detection specimen; and a camera system that photographs an image of the detection specimen existing in the rotator based on the image photographing control signal. Accordingly, movement of a detection specimen existing in the rotator when the rotator stops rotating or whether a detection specimen being rotated is centrifuged, moved, or dried is monitored and controlled, thereby checking a change in a state of the detection specimen in the process of development of the rotator and checking whether each of operations of the system is completed.
